Regarding post-construction consulting services, MKA professionals determine the cause and origin of the damage, evaluate the extent of damage and formulate repair concepts for first and third-party and builder’s risk claims. We’ve completed many projects in areas with challenging geological hazards including expansive soils and rock, organic soils, contaminated soils and groundwater, collapsible alluvial deposits, liquefiable soils, karst terrain, and sinkholes.
Our Geotechnical Engineers and Geologists have the capability and technical depth to perform all necessary investigations for intrusive inspections and subsequent materials testing. Not only do we perform many of the tests required to determine the cause, but we also but also utilize various independent testing facilities that benefit our clients by providing them with the specificity they require in a particular field.
